Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly and use the correct tense. Since you are talking about childhood, say “I think I had a bike” or “I don’t think I had a bike,” rather than “I guess I do.” Avoid unrelated or repetitive phrases such as “you know” and “at home only.” Add one specific reason or detail to make your answer clearer and more natural.

Ví dụ: I don’t think I had a bike when I was a child. I rarely played outside because I preferred staying at home and reading or watching television. However, some of my friends often rode their bikes in the neighborhood.

Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion in the present tense and support it with a specific example. Use “bikes are popular” rather than “it was very popular nowadays,” and say “my neighbors own bikes” or “people rent bikes” instead of “they do renting.” Avoid fillers and incomplete phrases, and connect your ideas with words such as “because” or “for example.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially in large cities. Many people use them for exercise and short journeys because they are convenient and environmentally friendly. For example, bike-sharing services are common in my neighborhood, and I often see people renting bikes at the weekend.

× I guess I do.

✓ I guess I did.

The question asks about a past situation when you were a child, so the past form did is required instead of do. Pay attention to the tense used in the question and keep the answer in the same time frame.

× When I was a child, I don't usually play outside.

✓ When I was a child, I didn't usually play outside.

When I was a child refers to the past, so the negative past form didn't play is needed instead of don't play. Use didn't plus the base form of the verb for negative statements in the past.

× I prefer at home only.

✓ I preferred staying at home.

The verb prefer needs a complement, such as a noun or an -ing form. Staying is the correct gerund after preferred, and at home is the natural prepositional phrase. Because you are describing childhood, preferred is also appropriate for the past context.

× Yeah, it was very popular nowadays.

✓ Yeah, bikes are very popular nowadays.

Nowadays refers to the present, so the present tense are is needed instead of the past tense was. Also, bikes is plural, so it should be replaced with the plural subject bikes.

× I saw my neighbor that they do have like bikes.

✓ I saw my neighbors with bikes.

The sentence refers to more than one person, so neighbors is more suitable than the singular neighbor when using they. Use singular and plural nouns consistently with the pronouns and verbs that refer to them.

× Sometimes they do renting to have bikes.

✓ Sometimes they rent bikes.

The form do renting is incorrect. After the auxiliary do, use the base form rent, not the -ing form renting. In this sentence, the simple form they rent is the clearest and most natural choice.
